A stream of data elements being transmitted, or intended for transmission, in character or binary-digit defined format form.
To move a file from an IBM host to an IRIS workstation.
A popular local area packet-switched network technology. It is a 10 Mbps broadcast bus with distributed access control. An Ethernet network supports (TCP/IP) and Network File System (NFS).
High-Level Language Application Program Interface. A library of C-programming routines that can be used in an IRIS application. These routines enable the application to interact directly with an IBM host application in a manner similar to a human operator.
Silicon Graphics' proprietary file transfer program, which transfers files between the IRIS workstation and IBM MVS/TSO or VM/CMS systems.
The type of connection the IRIS 3270 Emulator uses to communicate with an IBM host, for example TCP.
System Network Architecture is the description of the logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for transmitting information units through and controlling the configuration and operation of IBM networks.
Transmission Control Protocol is the major transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols providing reliable, connection-oriented, full-duplex streams. TCP uses Internet Protocol (IP) for delivery.
The Internet standard protocol for remote terminal connection service. This protocol runs on top of TCP/IP and is the basis of IRIS TCP 3270.
The act of imitating a terminal. When a workstation mimics a terminal, it performs terminal emulation. The 3270 terminal emulation software enables the IRIS workstation to function as a 3278 or 3279 terminal. During terminal emulation, you can access files and commands on your IBM system from the IRIS workstation.
The emulation software, window display, and key mappings that perform the functions of a terminal.
